Sergio Perez is confirmed to be alongside KK at Sauber for 2011

the mexican driver is backed by Telmex the telecom giant. I hate how money is controling even the midpack teams (not just the small teams) in their drivers' choices
i forgot that the telmex tycoon finally bought into a team and his boy perez got the seat.

It has always been about money. Indian money saved Jordan/Spyker and made it Force India.

Austrian money saved Jaguar and made it RedBull.

Geni capital saved Renault and Russian money keeps them afloat.

I know it is hard to see someone like Heidefeld lose his seat, but thats the name of the game. As for Hulkenberg, he has looked good and I'd love to see him drive for one more season.

it is a shame. i believe Hulkster is better than Maldonado anyday. i hope he finds another seat, but i doubt it will be at Ferrari.

Hooray for Rubens! God, I would love to see this guy go out with a single championship. I know it's incredibly unlikely...but he's just a class act. I feel like he's really earned it.

i'm half/half with Rubens. he does seem like a nice guy but we've seen before that he gets really whiny and bitchy when things don't go his way. He had a hissy fit with Brawn last year when he thought they were favoring Jenson. I don't like that at all.
